How do i kill mannimarco?

Zigzerg97

I have tried several times and just cant get nowhere, The main thing i am needing is health and the time it takes to drink a potion im practically dead... Can anyone give any tips?

Innocente

Need to range this guy. Don't try to melee him. Burn down the adds as soon as they come up. When he jumps, just get back into range. Remember you can drink every 30sec. Don't wait till you NEED to drink; drink as soon as it will be all used. Then it will be ready again. If you are stamina ranged DPS, then stay on the move so if you have to get out of red, you don't have to roll.

Good Luck!

interrupt him when he's beaming you, equip an aoe ultimate and drop it when the ghosts come at you.

Resto staff, even without any skills from that line. Restoring Magicka on the heavy attack will allow you to spam whatever defensive skills your class has.

Did that both on my Dragon Knight ( Obsidian Shield and Green Dragon Blood ) and Templar ( Blazing Shield and Honour the Dead ).

Just have to outlast the guy.

Yeah thats what i have been doing so far but i think the main thing im needing is health because it drains pretty quick.

Sighlynce

If anyone in your guild does provisioning some Shank-and-Potato Pie lvl 50 is a big help in the health dept max health by 306 for 35 mins.. Let the companions hit him close and you stay at a distance ... Took me more than a few times but I finally got him. Good Luck

What is your class to start of. Have you taken Entropy from mages guild line, or green dragon blood if you are DK. NB should not have issues either.

When Manni channels adds (big beam up as hint) concentrate on adds and then back to Manni. Continue until done. You can pop one of those potions you have as example once you lost 1/3 health, then another when it runs out etc... Also get food if you don't have any yet.

Innocente

BC, you did not say your class, so don't know what you have available.

I am a Breton Templar with HealStaff/HealStaff build. So, I have limited ranged capability, but can heal myself; that said, I still used pots to save on Magicka.

Just kept him at range and tossed ranged Staff and Class attacks at him. When low on Magicka, would do Heavy Staff attacks.

Downed Manimarco in one, at level. The big skelly on the way in was a surprise, though, and he killed me once.

I used Magicka / Health food and Magicka/Stamina/Health tri-stat restoration potions.

sylviermoone

As a NB vamp, I relied heavily on funnel health, siphoning strikes and my vampire life drain on the adds. I also used my ambush strike to quickly get in his business when I needed magicka and stamina back.

That said, it took several tries to get him. Good luck!.

The food buff will be a big help. And certainly don't let him drain you; even if you are ranged either interrupt with whatever range attack interrupts or run up and bash him.

I am a Redguard Nightblade, i think i'll just have to use food and potions.

One more question of course... is your gear up to your level?

Fi'yra

When Melee, focus on staying close to him, and make sure you have at least 1 AOE spell in your bar for his adds.

Ranged, I really suggest abusing the 'block' function to reduce his damage by at least 50% and make sure you save a little Stamina for either 'Immovable' or 'Dodge'

Hope this helps!

Range attack for sure, staff or bow. Ignore the balls he shoots at you, they hardly do any damage, and dodging them will just waste your stamina; concentrate on interrupting the white beam when he casts it, it's a killer. If you use bow, venom arrow will interrupt casts.

Use something like silver shards from fighters guild skill line to bring down the adds, they are a nuisance but not very tough, keep moving ALL the time and try to keep out of the red zones of his attacks, difficult though it may be sometimes.

It's a fight of endurance, you just have to last the pace, I used bow to kite him, and I think I equipped resto staff for self heals, I don't use it usually, and don't have much on the skill line, but it kept me alive. Persevere, you will do it

fougerec99b16_ESO

Altmer heavy armor, two handed, Templar. I simply hit him. Lots. Drank potions as soon as I was able. Charged him when he moved away and just never let up. Took 3 tries but I got him

DenverRalphy

I find that it's easiest just to make an endurance fight out of it.

Slowly chip away at him with a ranged weapon (bow or staff, either one) with the basic attack. Use an AoE on the adds (they're pretty delicate, and an AoE takes them out fast). Interrupt his life-steal attacks as quick as you can (you'll know it's coming because he teleports). If you don't have a ranged interrupt (like Venom Arrow from the Bow skill line), you'll want to make sure your stamina is constantly full so that you have enough to dodge towards him quickly closing the distance followed by a melee interrupt and dropping an Ultimate (especially if you have a life steal ultimate of your own).

The key is to not waste your magicka or stamina attacking Mannimarco. Attack him simply with the basic weapon attack. Save your magicka attacks for AoE'ing the adds, and for self healing. Save your stamina for the interrupts. The fight may last longer than you'd care for, but you'll find that you're never/rarely in dire peril.

Last item of note... Make it a point to save your Ultimate to use immediately after interrupting his life-steal. This will ensure that he's not about to teleport away, and consequently leaving the area of your Ultimate effects.

I melee him with a NB and DK, DK in one take. But you can't stand in one place. Stick and Move and Dodge. Having some type of fast closer helps.

The keys are: Kill the adds as fast as possible, and Red Make You Dead, dodge out of the red areas.

Retreat up the steps sometimes helps recovery and I would when the adds come out.

Thanks for the answers guys, ill take on some of the tips to try defeat him. My armor level is 36 and im level 43, the armors damaged do you think that will make a difference?

Correct, this is a survival fight, not a DPS burndown where you can out dps him. Take time, manage resources. His direct attack look a lost worse than the damage.

andre.roques.3b14_ESO

You're a bit under geared, for my taste. I always crafted new gear at least every four levels and improved it to fine quality. Also you can relatively cheaply enchant the armor just from vendor glyphs...that will make a significant difference depending how capped you are on particular stats.

It will make some difference yes, so would be good to get your armor to the level.

Someone else had the same issue not long a go... here's that thread

My witch can burn him down, not all the way though. She is a Vampire and the ghosts are very welcome, another fool throwing health at her. Big Sparky is a useful ultimate here.

About 3 minutes, he did get me to about 20% once but that was entirely my fault, I'd been up for long time by then, and was a bit slow with my block..

Block the Health Drain, it's all he's got.

@Bcunniffe97, I'd advise against wasting Ultimate on the ghosts unless yours is very cheap. Use an AOE like Impulse or Puncturing Sweep or similar to kill them all at once, after letting them get close. They're only something like 86 health, very very squishy. But deadly if you let them hit you.

If you have something like Solar Disturbance or DK Stand, save ultimate until Mannie is < 25% health, then drop it on him. Wait until after the third wave of ghosts, however.

The most important thing of all that makes the fight sustainable is a self-heal.

There is an addon called "Harven's Potions Alert" that will help with potion management.

The Armor rating itself isn't much of an issue, since the majority of the damage you take in this fight is Spell damage and life-steal which armor doesn't do much to mitigate anyway. However, level 40 armor also allows for the next tier of Enchantments for more Health, Magicka, etc.. Which is always a bonus. Especially if they're traited with the Infused trait.

This is the most important thing I would say. When he tethers to you and starts draining, drop what your doing and interrupt him. That drain will wreck you.

The ghosts are the easiest, my main weapon i use is a staff and skill is fiery pulsar 1, sometimes it also doesnt let me block and hit that way he drains most of my life with his beam.

Nestor

Does Shield Charge interrupt Mannimarco? I could always do that and then Bash him if not. I got him down to like 120 health with my DK the other night after being killed 4 times, but my armor was so decayed that I could not see me trying the 5th time.

Chuggernaut

When I fought him I was sword and board, and got whooped. Changed to destruction staff and killed him no problem. Just range and move, and you'll be all good.

I tried wacking him with the staff that works sometimes, I had food and potions etc.. before the fight too and keep dying. Im so close to giving up!

Did you eventually defeat him?

Are you up close and in his face? You can't block the attack. You have to be within melee range, simultaneously hold the right mouse button down, and tap the left to jam the staff right into his face.
